Wow, so much to learn. Just hope there is time. This crazy world keeps getting crazier!

I remember wecleaned with straight kerosene while in basic training at Ft Benning. We used CLP after that.

Military liked for us to use CLP , on my M249 I used " Lube 1 " from Slick 50, gave me a few more rounds per minute Thanks MR !

Thanks for the tips Modern 👍 In a pinch, give it the old Hawk Tuah! (Just kidding)

I scrub all the internal parts with alcohol and then lube. CLP on a boresnake down the barrel and the outside of the slide. I lube the rails of my pistols and AR bolt carriers with Lucas red, and my bolt actions and AK’s get lithium grease. The School of American Gunsmiths recommends a mix of motor oil and red grease.

Great information, thanks MR!

I use a product called gun butter for a grease like product, I use hoppes or rem oil as a general lube

Thanks for sharing this information and your experience using these oils.

Hey MR! Been busy lately and got behind. Thank you for this and all your hard work 😊

Good to know, thanks for sharing. Stay safe

I’ve been very happy with Balistol. It also has a very interesting history.

You already have your lube needs under control, but one thing I've been happy with has been red synthetic grease thinned with synthetic ATF. I's given me the best of both worlds, and the wetting properties of the ATF, along with its high detergency makes cleaning a snap. I also use a home made bore cleaner mix developed by Ed Harris called "Eds Red", which is a mixture of ATF, Kerosene, Stoddard Solvent, and acetone. Lanolin can be added if desired, and the acetone can be omitted, but it will take longer to remove some forms of fouling, like shotgun wad residue for example. Recipes are available on line for anyone who might be interested. I did make one batch using Marvel Mystery Oil in place of the ATF, but had immediate rust issues so I added ATF to that mixture and increased the acetone a bit. It appears to me that MMO is not a rust preventative.

Good info

Thanks for the information. I have use Break Free CLP for forty years. YT is finally letting me make comments again. 🤦‍♂ there were six or seven channels that I couldn't comment on for the last month or so.

Good stuff

In a pinch WD-40 can be a cleaner but it is not a lubricant, despite its own advertising. Agree with you on grease and motor oil. Also, ATF transmission fluid is a great cleaner and also a lubricant in a pinch. 50/50 acetone/ATF is a great home brew mix. The acetone helps it migrates and then evaporates out.

I’ve also just used 3 in 1 oil for almost all my needs.

That jug of 0w20 would be a lifetime of gun "lube!" CLP guy.

I like 3 in 1 oil. Works great on motorcycle chains. And it don't freeze up like other oils. I had my rifle freeze up after taking it inside at lunch than back out doors. I now freeze my gun oils to double check they don't freeze up or get super sticky in freezing weather.

Great to see these videos, Fred! hopefully we will be able to get boom sticks again down here soon! best regards, amigo!

I recently bought a bottle of the Lucas brand gun oil. I've used their gas treatment for years and thought I'd give it a shot. No complaints so far. Strike Hold is a spray that's pretty good, kinda like the spray CLP.

Same

Thank you!

I always liked the G96 in the aerosol can quite well. Unfortunately, it's no longer available, and I am down to my last can. It was common in the 1970's to 1980s.

Good advice. I'm surprised you didn't mention Hoppes Number 9. Am I showing my age? We can all apply your knowledge to other tools. Weed eaters. Chain saws. Tillers. Any tool with moving parts which need to keep moving. What do you use to keep rust away from hand tools? Hammers. Wrenches. Pliers.

Always great content. Been with you since 2018. Keep it up from your Appalachian brother

At a quick glance I thought the title said "broom stick" lube 🤣 I was like what is he doing that his broom needs lube 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks MR

I use red grease on certain parts.

Thank y'all for sharing. Used CLP for years. Great information always looking for new products to try. Have a blessed evening.

👍👍

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !

i switched over to lucas blue marine grease or chainsaw grease , i loaded up the old fashioned plunger applicator. then add a lite oil clp or atf fluid or wilson oil. i like to see them kinda mix, there is vids out on making your own. i found 2 gatorade bottle necks cut off and glued together , so you use 2 screw lids, is the perfect thing to keep a little xtra grease in the bag or truck.

Thanks MR 😎👍

I lube with sewing machine oil on internals. Clean with water diluted ammonia. Then dry dry dry. From the 👍. Best

MR, would you be able to post a vid in basic boom stick cleaning? Or recommend a channel that can demo this properly? Or a book? I’d sure appreciate it. Thanks for the good content you put out.

wow awesome video ... I will look into these products ... living in northern Ontario my question how do you find them in the cold? I have been using sewing machine oil... from the H.A. Kidd and company. I use them in my firearms, and heavy sewing machine (for canvas and cotton). I have purchased it in bulk. Mind you most of my firearms are hand operated like pumps, levers, hinge, revolvers... The few semis I have are lubed with the same till the winter then they are cleaned and graphite base... what are your thoughts

QUESTION: how does one clean up and restore a .22, that was "kept safe", by sinking IN a barrel of oil used Oil that so used it is Black? All my Arms walked away in numerous methods. I have this one escaped most eyes detecting it! Lol I have been curious how DO i Fix It?
